Hammer bullets

[Nuclear Worker]

I have a 6.5x284 I use for hunting. Has anyone used these in this caliber? If so any load information would be great.

I know the 124 Hammer Hunters and H1000 work in the 6.5x284

How much of a jump do they like in the 6.5x284?

 

[ButterBean]

They are not particular about jump in anything I have seen so far

Thanks I am really new to reloading. Any information on that load would be great.

Posted this in another thread but First 3 181 Hammer Hunters shot out of my 300WSM at 100 yds. Charges 69.0/69.2/69.4. Pulled the rest and loaded back up at 69.2 grns. Trying to test out to 500 this weekend unless it's too hot.
Steve, your making it hard to stay loyal to Berger!

Steve suggests starting at .020 off.......I've loaded 7 or 8 different cartridges with Hammers and have only tweaked the seating depth on one from .020 off.

Thanks. Only looking to get 2950FPS. Will see what happens.

Your only problem will be slowing them down
